 I found the pale pastel flowers and the Moose just got in the way.... Found this guy high on a hill and was happy to get a photo of just him standing in the middle of the wild flowers but when he took a big group of flowers and started eating them it really made the shot. I was about 100 yards away and until I downloaded the file I did not realize the blue flowers in the foreground were even there but they really added to meeting the theme so overall I was extremely happy to get the shot. I owe it all to persistance and a lot of luck.

Good composition, wonderful color and background. a little more detail in the shadows (the animal's body)and lose the leaning tree which is distracting and I'd give you a 10.

in my opinion this is probably a bit saturated for the challenge but cool shot nonetheless!

cool moment, think I would have croped in a bit- perhaps you already did as much as possible

I like it
